Prevent Garage Falls with an Anti-skid Polyaspartic Floor Coating

Northern Ohio weather is unpredictable—snow in the winter, rain in the spring, and humidity all summer long. It’s no surprise that garage floors in the Akron and Cleveland area often become slick and hazardous. Whether it’s snowmelt from boots, water tracked in from the driveway, or just moisture in the air, a smooth concrete floor can quickly become a danger zone.

That danger is especially real for children, pregnant women, and older adults who are more vulnerable to slips and falls. And with so many homeowners using garages as primary entryways, the risk is constant.

The Solution: A Polyaspartic Floor Coating with Anti-Skid Protection

Forte Garage Floor Coating offers a safer, longer-lasting solution with its premium hybrid epoxy-polyaspartic floor coating system. These coating systems are installed over two days for maximum durability and safety.

• Day 1: A high-build, moisture-mitigating, 100%-solids epoxy base coat is applied as a moisture vapor barrier. I penetrates and strongly adheres to the concrete slab providing effective moisture mitigation.
• Day 2: Dual 100%-solids polyaspartic top coats are added—in the last coat, we add a polypropylene anti-skid blend for enhanced traction underfoot.

This blend is subtle enough to keep floors easy to clean but strong enough to provide real slip protection.

For homeowners with unique needs, GFC also offers:

• Quartz or aluminum oxide for high-slip areas like ramps or sloped driveways
• GFC Media, a proprietary anti-skid blend that’s gentle on bare feet—ideal for pool decks or indoor-outdoor transitions
